Claire and I got to Chatty Wednesday afternoon and went to dinner at Bones with my mom and dad, and then just hung out with them for the night. Then on Thursday morning dad went to Nashville to pick up Grandma and Cathy, so mom and I took Claire for a walk in the park. She slept through a lot of it, but she does love being outdoors! Then we went shopping for a little while until they returned from Nashville. We sat around and talked to Cathy and Grandma and then had lasagna for dinner. Too bad Aaron missed it! We watched Grey's Thursday night, and then went to bed. Colleen showed up around midnight. Friday morning we all took Claire to the park for a walk again. Colleen brought Dicey too, so she ran around and opened her legs for all the other dogs...her mommy taught her well. We came back to the house and sat around and played with Claire that afternoon, and then had a really good turkey dinner. Aaron got to the house around 9 that night, after FINALLY finding some gas near Calhoun, because Atlanta is pretty much out of gas. On Saturday we just watched football all day and hung out. Becky, Charlie, Robin, and Mike came over for a little while so Mike and Robin could meet Claire, and Charlie could see his beloved. And try to eat her (see picture below). We (I) were very excited that Auburn won, and Aaron was a little (lot) disappointed that UGA lost. On Sunday dad took Cathy and Grandma back to Nashville to go home, Aaron went home, Colleen went home, and Claire and I stuck around so Nana and G-daddy could get some time alone with Claire. Then she and I came home on Monday.
Claire was very well spoiled all week, and got used to being held and played with all the time. We're having a rough time getting back on her schedule, and she's been fussy pretty much nonstop since we got home. But at least she was good while we were in Chatty, so everyone got to see how sweet and cute she is. Hopefully it will just take us another day or two to get her back on her normal schedule, she was up to almost 8 hours of straight sleep a night, so it will be nice to get back to that, last night was rough!
I can't believe that she'll be 7 weeks old tomorrow, she's getting so big so fast, it kills me to think that I have to go back to work in a few more weeks and leave her, at least part of the week. Guess it might be time to start trying to bring that up with work and figure out what I'm going to do in terms of work, and what we're going to be doing about childcare... don't really even want to think about it!
